Description

Our Holiday Home is made up of a Renaissance villa from the 16th century located in a hilly area surrounded by the silence of green forests and the silver-gray of olive trees. It overlooks the plain where the city of Lucca is located, which is about 6 km away and can also be easily reached by urban bus. It is an excellent starting point for visiting other Tuscan cities, as the city of Pisa is 18 km away, the sea of Viareggio is 20 km away, and the city of Florence is about 70 km away.

Purchased in the early 1800s to be used as the summer seminary of the Diocese of Lucca, it was transformed in the 1970s by Monsignor Enrico Bartoletti, before he became the secretary of the Italian Episcopal Conference, into a Diocesan House for spiritual exercises, seminars, training courses for clergy and laity, welcoming pilgrims, retreat days for the various needs of parishes and groups or movements, families, ecclesiastical events, etc.

With the Jubilee of 2000, under the episcopate of Monsignor Bruno Tommasi, the House was equipped with the necessary comforts to ensure a welcoming environment while still preserving the sobriety that characterized it in previous centuries.

It has a capacity of 73 beds, with rooms divided into singles, doubles, and triples, equipped with their own facilities and a Wifi system for internet connection. Today, it is managed by a family.

Wonderful property surrounded by greenery a short walk from the sea. The host was amazing as was his whole family: welcoming, kind people who make you feel "at home" at every moment. A holiday that "tastes good", like the hug of a friend you haven't seen in a long time, like a sunny day after years of rain, like a cool sea wave. Simply thank you!

A prestigious structure, converted from a former diocesan house, located in a suggestive and shaded position, thanks to the presence of many trees. The only limitation is represented by the rooms - former monastic cells - that are rather small.

I slept one night during a motorcycle trip. Everything was perfect: the place, the building which is an ancient monastery, the courteous and smiling staff, the numerous outdoor spaces (cloisters and wooded gardens), the room and the comfortable bed, the large wooden windows with their old and ingenious locking system. The only downside, in this scorching summer, is the too noisy fan that is necessary despite the windows being open with the mosquito net. But good earplugs solved the problem. The breakfast, optional, is complete. The homemade cakes are excellent but the fresh fruit was disappointing.

We stayed for the Lucca Comics & Games event and made arrangements as early as the summer. The human relationship was the key to the success of this stay, where for every situation there was an option and therefore a possible solution to choose from. An excellent base from which to move to participate in Lucca Comics. Management of serious and reliable people.

We had a great time in this structure, which is well organized, with welcoming and kind staff, an ancient but fascinating structure. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning. The rooms are equipped with fans, but with the excessive heat of recent periods, they are not enough. Otherwise, it is highly recommended especially for the good quality/price ratio.

Very nice structure in a large building with very suggestive common areas. Everything else confirms the 2 stars: very small rooms, hot without air conditioning, only one bedside table with Ikea plastic light. Some deck chairs in the garden. An exaggerated cost of 171 euros for two people, I understand that they profit from the proximity to the concerts of Lucca but it seems like an exaggeration to me. It's a shame because with a bit of investment the structure would be very beautiful.

The answer from the host:
Ho notato il suo accanimento nel trovare tutti i posti dove poterci inserire recensioni lunghe e negative che rivelano che perde molto del suo tempo dietro cose insignificanti per persone concrete. Nutro molti sospetti, riguardo l’imparzialità del suo giudizio che non è stato dato per farci crescere, ma per parlare solo male di noi sperando di convincere qualcun altro e per questo sarà la prima volta che non terrò nessun conto di una recensione.

A characteristic structure full of history, with well-kept exteriors and interiors, a place of peace and beauty. Exquisite family management, friendly and very helpful. Beautiful people also humanly with a moving personal story. I highly recommend it: for a relaxing stay, for events of all kinds, for groups or individuals, to quickly reach Lucca or visit the Versilia or Garfagnana. A sincere thank you. Casa Diocesana Mons.

The place is quiet. The rooms are a bit small, about 9 square meters, in addition to the bathroom. If there are two people with luggage, it becomes not very comfortable, but if it's just for sleeping, it's fine. \n\nIt is managed on a family level by very polite and attentive people. Maximum cleanliness. Excellent value for money.

Located on the slopes of a hill and immersed in greenery, outside the inhabited center, this place is very suggestive. It strikes for the calm and serenity that is breathed. The rooms are small and spartan, but the bedside table in the form of a kneeler wins over everything. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful historic building, with a welcoming garden. The friendliness and availability of the managers are extreme and the breakfast is plentiful. This is a historic building with its strengths and weaknesses given by the structure. For me, it's beautiful. I prefer a location immersed in the countryside with the peace that follows, rather than a hotel in the city center chaos. If you desire tranquility with polite people and cicadas to accompany you as a soundtrack, I recommend it.

The answer from the host:
Tante grazie sopratutto per aver capito lo spirito del luogo. Quì non si trovano frigobar, televisori in camera etc, ma si possono riscoprire cose semplici e di grandissimo valore che purtroppo abbiamo perso nella vita moderna. La riaspettiamo...

The Casa Diocesana is located in a charming position. The structure is beautiful but excessively spartan for the price. There is still much to improve. A TV, air conditioning, and the possibility to darken the rooms would be needed if you want to leave the windows open.

Structure of great charm, immersed in greenery and very suggestive. Good breakfast while dinner was definitely not in line with the rest, and absolutely expensive for the menu served.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Signora, si è seduta e gli è stato servito un primo, 1 secondo con contorno, un dessert o frutta comprensivo di acqua e coperto per una spesa complessiva di € 20,00 a persona. Naturalmente i nostri pasti sono serviti a vassoio con le dosi richieste dal cliente e con ll ripasso sempre di ogni portata. Non so se frequenta un qualsivoglia locale, ma le posso assicurare che con € 20,00 non ha un pasto completo e curato come con noi. La cucina è direttamente diretta da mia moglie ed è, come evidente da tutte le altre recensioni, una delle parti della nostra ospitalità con più successo. Grazie per le sue parole e per i complimenti alla nostra struttura.

My friend and I stayed at Casa Diocesana for just one night. The welcome we received upon arrival immediately made us understand that we would find a familiar and hospitable environment... and so it was! A pleasant and relaxing experience, definitely worth repeating. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff.

Our stay was one night long. It is a beautiful place and has a lot of charm. It is reachable only by car and about 10 kilometers away from the beautiful city of Lucca. Very kind and friendly host. unfortunately it was extremely hot during our stay, which made us change the place for the following night. I might return but in another season, the surroundings are nice and I believe it is a great place for hiking and biking.

The hotel is part of an ancient villa, very beautiful on the outside and isolated from the city of Lucca which is not a defect. One must be careful on the road leading to the hotel as it can be a bit narrow at times. The breakfast is abundant and of good quality. The manager and his collaborators were very kind, ready for any request, friendly and easy-going. As for the room, we found it a bit dated but clean, tidy, with a bathroom in the room and well-maintained. The only flaw is that they do not change the towels in the morning and the room needs to be tidied up on your own.

Grazie Valentino della recensione che gratifica l'impegno che mettiamo nel far sentire i nostri ospiti a casa propria. La pulizia come la buona cucina, è al centro del nostro interesse mentre per gli arredi a tratti particolari e non sostituibili, sono il bellissimo e originale frutto della storia secolare della Casa e per questo protetti e catalogati dalle "Belle Arti". Per quanto riguarda il cambio della biancheria (sempre possibile a richiesta) ed il rifacimento della camera, sono una scelta dettata dalla nostra conduzione familiare e dal desiderio di tenere bassi ed accessibili i prezzi nella nostra "Casa per Ferie" con la piccola collaborazione dei nostri ospiti. Grazie, grazie, grazie di tutto e sopratutto del sostegno che con il tuo contributo hai dato affinché questo "sogno" possa continuare a realizzarsi.

Arrived with the sole expectations of a shelter to spend the night I found much more. A very kind manager. A perfect single room with bathroom, very fast Wi-Fi, and a tranquility that allowed me to rest perfectly. Woke up the next day with a fantastic breakfast and the view after going out on the street completed the picture. Bus stop two centimeters from the building and off to Lucca. I highly recommend it also because if I have the opportunity I will certainly return.
